My last batcha AM binderless AICS mags were supposed to be 308,but were in fact 300 Whizzum,so I had to go Old School with 42" bar and close rails. After gunning multiple Kreedmires against my 6.5-06(147 ELD's in both),the Kreedmire's mild manners and astounding consistency,is an easy preference.Cain't hate on my 260AI and 2900fps 147's...but again prefer the Kreedmires to it. When thinkin'/talkin' Whizzum-esque stuff,I'm purty sweet on Montucky 7 Whizzum magfed 180ELD Smooches at 2950fps. 'Course...I shot alotta 7-08/162's this past week too and am more than a touch "comfy" with same,betwixt my mitts. Had the weather to really extrapolate 147/162/180's and a .796BC ain't tough to cypher.(grin) 1-8" 280 coming up next,as a dedicated 180 ELD Launcher,due the splendor of 700 L/A COAL latitude and the NO bullschit associated. Film at 11:00.(grin)

Mine's still a no turn, despite narrowing up the neck a couple thou, and stretched it to a .200' freebore........

I'm a big 47 fan, but this one was calling my name..........

I whole heartedly agree. They are my number 1 favorite for a varmint/plinking/long range shooting stock. Not sure why they don't see more love.........
